In an interview on WWL radio Tuesday, Payton says he understands, but fans shouldn’t worry because he’ll be spending more time at the team facility during the season, not less.

“Really, it’s not a thing where you commute day to day,” Payton explained via Mike Triplette of New Orleans Times-Picayune. “Your family comes in for the weekends when you’re playing games. I’ll get back to Dallas on the weekends in the offseason. We have our time as a family during the summer down at the beach.”

Payton basically explained his family decided that his kids should go to high school in Dallas and that he needed to “win more games” at home. (Translation: The wife won this round.) He repeated he’ll have more time at the office in the season. (Translation: With family out of town, the minimal amount of time spent with them during the week will decrease.)

“My job is to coach this team. And I’m under contract for two more years coaching this team. And I know this, I hope when I’m finished coaching, this is my last spot coaching. And honestly, I don’t see myself coaching 10, 15 more years,” Payton said. “You know, my son is dying for me to be at practice, and my daughter is dying for me to be at more of her events.

“It’s hard to explain the pull that this job and this career has. We knew going in and I knew going in how demanding it can be. And when you win a Super Bowl those demands can get even tougher.

Call us crazy, but it sounds like Payton could have early onset Parcells Disease.

Selfish, and clueless Sean Payton. Doesn’t this guy love his kids ? They should come FIRST ! Yes, I get it, he has a good, VERY well paying job, but would he rather see Brees score another TD, or his son score a TD in HS ? He is an ass

With Brees looking for an extension, maybe with this news he only wants a one year extension, and both him and Payton can share the U-Haul expense as they head west together to the frozen tundra of North Texas.

By that time Romo will finally no longer be on the cover of “People” and Jerrah will have his new GM and QB.

Are high schools in Texas very good ? I don’t know because I’m an immigrant who has been here in for three years but this is the third case(two relatives) that I hear of somebody shifting to Texas with their kids for the high school there ?
When I say good – I guess acads wise because Asian parents aren’t exactly interested in high school sports.

Translation – He and or his wife wants out! This will spin out of control and the minute they lose 2 in a row it’ll be because he isn’t around enough. This may be his last season in the Big Easy. Too bad he’s a very good coach, but the fans will take it as an insult. If I were the owner I’d be scouting his replacement.

49 “thumbs down” for my comment? Let’s see how some of you react if, God forbid, someone in your family is utterly destroyed by early onset Alzheimer’s. You wouldn’t take such comments fleetingly either.

Maybe its because Alzheimer’s was never mentioned in this article and you took that comment completely out of context. I am sorry for what you had to go through and the struggles that might have put on your family but referring to “Parcells Disease” has nothing to do with Alzheimer’s. Do you not know who Parcells is?

Ehh if he leaves screwem then I was born and raised in nola and we been through coaches like tissue paper that will give Greg willams a chance at a head coaching job plus that would be a huge boost to the saints D.
if Payton wants to coach a failing has been franchise like the cowgirls that’s his mistake and cross to bear…
Why are the girls called Americas team anyway????
Why let a has been team rep our country???
In all honesty it should be the patriots!
The name screams USA and they a dominate team in the NFL just like the USA is a dominate country!
EF the cowgirls
